Sunday 16th August
An afternoon of completely free music and events in the city centre. It’s part of our mission to bring jazz music to those who might not always happen across it, so we’re very pleased to add these four free events on Sunday 16th August.
We’ve carefully selected artists which cover some of the best music from last years festival, a newly formed group, and an ensemble put together specially for the occasion.
